ton declaring that the way to test
tho fourth section, is to enforce it.
Inasmuch rs Charleston is in II

that she should ask that which

We are at Il loss to know what
disposition the "Rum oligarchy"
will make of the following expert
mcnt with Prohibition. This infor-
nation ONE from Alabama and
speaks for itself:
"Said n merchant yesterday: Do
you know that prohibition is chang
ing the character of business in the
interior towns? Wherever prohi-
bition has been adopted the money
formerly expended for whiskey is
devoted to somsthing else, and this
has given rise to Il larger general
business, and in some instances
new business. One country mer-
chant told NC this week that he
sold 80 pairs of childrcn's shoes
where he formerly sold one. The
fathers used to drink up the shoe
money and the children went bare
foot. lie said also that he sells
quantities of Womcn's hats and bon
nets, and eve sold anything Of
the kind before prohibition was
adopted. The husbands had no
money, so their wives made their
own bonncts out ofcalico and splits;
now there is no gallon jug under
the bed, and women have decent
hcadgear and even ribbon. That
is a solid fact and is n whole sermon
if you choose to icngthcn 1t out n
bit"

Some weeks ago q man by tn
name or HOOVER was lowering
around the towns Of Spartanburg
and Greenville, organizing the col
bred population into secret labor
societies. Ec went to Walhalla,
tho Salubrious atmosphere Of
that mountain city seems to have
inspired him with greater energy.
He readily organized his societies,
the colored people hocked to him
n after gathering IN the ~shcckles.
he began to tell them they were
tools, and the most abject slaves on
earth. He urged them to
strike for higher wages, to fight for
social rights ana reminded his fol-
lowers thats"matchcs were cheap"
This was too much for the honest
law-abiding mountaineers, go they
used the mild remedy Of arrestinp
HOOVER for vagrancy and purpose
ly allowed him to escape. Thus
the nuisance was abatcd in that
place. But HOOVER, nothing
daunted, fled into Georgia where
he continued his labers. but
he found the G~eorgians rather
much for him. At one place he
was requested to abandon his van
daiic career, but he persisted and
q body of men undisguised, treated
the tramp to a load OF bid shot.

THE LOCATION OF THE STATION

THE LOCATION OF THE STATION.
Whatever may be our Individual
ideas concerning the practical ben
ef's to result from the establish
ment of tho agricultural expert
mental stations, it is certain that
much depends upon the location
of the station, its management, and
most of all the interest which far
mers manifest in the enterprise.
1t is highly important that the far
mcrs should feel an interest in tho
work Of the station, watch tho re-
suits, and mako application ofthem
on their farms.
If the legislature had carefully
canvasscd the Piedmont section Of
the State and located the station at
the most central point, the richest,
most progressive and intelligent; if
they had sought the heart of that
fertile district in upper Carolina,
adapted to the greatest variety of
agricultural products, then L%aurens
County would most undoubtedly
have been selected. But this the
legislature did not do. 1t is lett to
thechoice OF the people, and since
Laurens has manifested no inter-
est whatever in the matter, this ia
vorcd spot will be overlooked en-
tircly. Next to Laurcns, wo believe
that Greenville county presents the
best claim. The citizens Of Green
VILE are public spirited and pro-
grcssivc; they pull together and al
lOwnOthing to fail. In this matter
they seem especially enthusiastic
andare willing to aid this State en-
terpriSo by liberal contributions.
Laurcns County has always had the
warmcst feeling for Grcenville and
desires to see this agricultural sta
ton located within her borders.

Fight Between Two 0ontz-Players in a
Drunken Crowd at Brighton Beach.

There was disreputable crowd at Brighton
Beach, on the canal. yesterday. and it was well
supplied with beer that had been hauled there
Saturday evening. In the afternoon fights be-
came so numerous that the police had to be
called upon to keep order and two officers were
sent out. They remained until after o'clock,
and as soon as they left the beer-drinking and
ouarrels began again. There were about as
many colored as white people present, and many
of them were engaged in playing oontz. In one
game were Joe Garrett and Doc" Cobb both of
North Indianapolis About 6 o'clock they began
quarreling over some money at stake, and Gar
rett, who is a very large man. pulled
Cobb away from the game and
began to kick him. Cobb grabbe
him by the lower lip, and after he had pulled it
loose from the gums Garrett released him. and
he ran. He went to another port on of the
grounds and watching a different game
when Garrett came up TO him again and threat
ened to Kill him. When he approached Cobb
drew a small knife and stabbed him in the side
four inches above the right hip. The blade was
not long enough to penetrate any vital part. and
the wounded man was able to walk out OF the
grounds, where a wagon provided and he
was taken to his home. His injury9s not con-
sidered dangerous. Cobb left the Grounds i'm
mediately after the affair. and also went home.

WAITING FOR AN ADVANCE.
The journeymen carpenters have received no
notice from the bosses that their wages will be
raised to-day; and if it is not done they declare
that they will all quit work this evening. The
main question now seems to be the 10 per cent.
advance, and if they can get that the majority of
them will be willing to work ten hours. Quite
number of the contractors have agreed to allow
their mon to vote the hour question. On
Saturday evening Jungclaus & Schumacher's
employees took vote, which stood &c to 10 in
favor of ten hours This is of the few firms

PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.

The LHsO Haa0aiaA0 has a very SEN
sible article about the necessity for the
Government here, to enforce the law
about public instruction. As matters
now stand, nearly all the Portuguese
children are allowed to do as they
please about going to school, and even
some Of the parents prefer not to let
them 90 at all, for the sake Of earning
a few cents out Of the youngsters. The
Portuguese organ, with great reason,
calls this state of things shameful, and
appeals to the Government for the
most stringent orders to be given to all
school agents, SO that none of the Por-
tuguese children under fifteen may be
found out OF school. The LNsO even
wants all the neglectful parentsto bepro-
secuted according to the law, as il
cannot be tolerated that, through this
neglect of the authorities, generation
Of ignorant, stupid people should be
thrust on the community. The
HERALD would endorse the request,
hoping that the Government will
attend to having the law enforced, as
it not only will cost them nothing, but
will even bring money into the public

THE EXHIBITION.

Only a few days remain till the day
appointed for the annual show Of the
Royal Hawaiian Agricultural Society.
1t seems unfortunate that the Vice
President of the Society, Judge L.
McCully, who is the active head,
should be absent from the Kingdom at
this juncture; also that tie Secretary,
Mr.. ]. S. Webb, should have his indie
fatigable activity interiered with during
the week Of the show by an accident
Still, there ought to be enough mem
bers taking sufficiently active interest
in the general objects Of the organiza-
ton, and in this particular object Of a
show, to put themselves out, even to
the extent Of a good deal Of sacrifice,
in order to make the event a success.
As pointed out by this journal the
other day, much depends upon the
result Of this effort to have a creditable
exhibition, and it is to be hoped that
not only will members Of the Society
but others do all in their power to
achieve the desirable contamination.
Counting to-day there are only three
days intervening before the date Of the
exhibition. Not much time for Ella

papers in giving any further informa-
ton required up to the morning Of the
exhibition may be counted on by the
committee. The matter is important
enough to have been agitated and
doomed more than it has been. How.
ever, letthe remaining time be diligently
improved by all concerned, which in
cludes the whole community.
